1978 Cheoy Lee 35 Perry Design Sailboat for sale! Persevere is a classic cruising sail boat built in the Cheoy Lee shipyards in Hong Kong. Thick fiberglass hull, lots of teak and solid wood spars are all part of Robert Perry’s classic blue water design. This boat sails like a dream and is the perfect start to your island / coastal adventures. She would also make a great live aboard with her spacious galley, cabin and v berth.

Lots of other stuff can potentially be included in the sale , dometic fridge and freezer, lots of tools, lightly used Honda 1.9 etc
Life circumstances have left me with less time to use the boat hence the sale.
Things to note:
The boat will need to be hauled out in the next year or so as the last bottom job was in 2023 at derecktor in Ventura Harbor.
The teak decking is in need of some caulking in certain spots. This can be done in the water.
The interior teak is worn in places. In general someone willing to dedicate time to cosmetic improvements will be able to do a lot with the boat.
The boat is located in Ventura West Marina in an upwind slip that can be turned into a liveaboard if desired. The slip is transferable pending approval from the Marina if desired.
Asking $6500, motivated to sell! Open to all reasonable offers!
Please email with any questions, happy to show the boat to serious enquirers.
